An Innovative Casting Technique for Off-Loading Charcot Foot
Journal Title: Journal of Orthopedics & Rheumatology - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Numerous techniques have been described in the use of offloading cast or brace in Charcot osteoarthropathy of the foot and ankle. The dominating challenge remains the inability to adequately conform to the varying shapes of deformities and soft tissue defects. We present a simple modification aimed at improving the existing technique.
